Cohen and Slamowitz, LLP

What rights do I have – a debt collector continues to call me about money that I may owe?

Fortunately, you have rights and you are protected under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. You should be reviewing the law so that you can better understand what it is that these debt collection companies can and cannot do when reaching out to you and attempting to collect money that you may or may not owe them. If you feel as if you are being violated by these companies, then contact our firm by calling us directly at 877-735-8600 or filling out our online form. Our team is here to help uphold your legal rights.

Can I stop the debt collector calls?

By sending these debt collection companies a written letter, they need to cease contacting you via the phone. Once they get the letter and process it, they must not contact you again. This is unless they are calling to let you know that no further action is needed, or that the creditor is taking some other action.

Also- hiring a lawyer will cause all contact to go directly through your lawyer. Even if communication halts, you still owe the debt to the specific lender or creditor.
